WWE has come to terms on the release of Gangrel (David Heath) and the tag team Gymini (Mike and Todd Shane).
The Gymini debuted on SmackDown in January 2005 with Simon Dean as their manager. They generally appeared on Velocity during their time on the road with WWE. In May 2005, Todd got injured and they were subsequently pulled off the road. He recovered in the fall and they made appearances in Deep South Wrestling with Angel Williams as their manager. It looked like they were on the verge of being called up to the main roster because they worked their act in a dark match prior to a SmackDown taping in November, but obviously, it was not to be. They continued to appear in DSW and on December 14, 2006 they won the DSW tag team titles. They actually still have the belts.
After making a few appearances in WWE in late 2004, Gangrel was hired in early 2005, sent to OVW, and then subsequently released in July 2005 before being re-hired again in June 2006. They hired him with the intent of putting in some sort of Vampire faction in the new ECW. However, WWE officials quickly soured on him when they found out that he somewhat overweight. He was finally put to use in September as he started to make some appearances in DSW. He wrestled under his real name David Heath while in DSW.
